Using found footage from various online make-up tutorials, Viscosity draws a connection between digital surface and human skin with the use of a rotoscoped green-screen that is applied in a manner similar to common beauty products. Comparable to the ways in which make-up is a tool for transforming physical appearances, the purpose of the green screen in media art is to also manipulate depictions of reality. Thus, Viscosity examines the cultural significance of make-up in today’s society and ultimately paints a murky, viscous reflection of female identity—that is, an ever-changing compromise between the real and ideal.
